never been to moveon.org not that much of an idealogue; just really let down by this admin, for a variety of reasons.
there are reasons to be let down by this adminstration. I agree. but as a conservitive, that is no reason to sell out to the looney left.
be strong my brother!
Remember that the real reasons to be disappointed in GWB have to do with his not living up to conservitive principles NOT for being too conservitve.
PS, that whole AoG fireing thing was done and over for months until the Dems in congress decided they could make political hay. The issue wasnt the excuse made but the fact they were fired.
I agree that GWB should have issued a statement saying "I fired them because I wanted to. They serve at my pleasure, and my pleasure came to an end. have a nice day"
However, to be upset by the "honesty" surrounding the event is misplaced anger.

I believe the Republican Party has indeed let the American people down. This administration and this congress have failed to deliver accept to their very narrow big business interest groups.
I look at it like this. They’ve failed to deliver the goods. If you hire someone to do a job right and they fail to do that job as agreed upon you fire them. It’s nothing personal, just business. The Republicans need to be fired. Why? If we continue to hire them we give them the illusion that what they’ve been doing is perfectly acceptable and we’ll continue to see more of the same failing policies. Right now Republican policies and strategies aren’t working and they are not advancing any of our other causes with any seriousness. The Democrats may not agree with many of our other causes but they promise to fix the failed policies of Republicans. I say fire the Republicans and hire the Democrats. Then hold the Democrat’s feet to the fire. If the Democrats fail to deliver we can fire them and undo whatever they have done wrong next election. You’re guaranteed to get nothing but the same failed policies from the Republicans. You might see some positive changes if the Democrats are elected. They want to stay in power, so at the very least the first 4 years will be focused on delivering what they promise.
Spank the Republicans. Give them a good whippin’ and maybe they’ll try harder to behave like real conservatives next time.

And if we re-elect the Republicans doesn’t this reward their departure from Conservatism? Are you trying to sabotage conservatism? Certainly loosing in 08 would allow the Conservatives to regroup and stack the deck with REAL Conservatives to challenge the Democrats in 2012. If you vote to give the Republicans in office you’re essentially saying, “Yes! We love how you’re not living up to conservative principles! Please, don’t be too conservative!” But if you flush them…they will realize they’ve drifted too far and scramble back to the conservative message that will win. If I were a die hard conservative, I’d vote Democratic just to save the Republican Party.

It often takes months to see what the fallout is of such a change.

I think the President, being elected by the people, should explain why he would fire these folks. Their performance should be called into question before the American people. I see more going on here. The Bush Administration serves as a perfect example of cronyism.

But you're not keeping your money. First the oil industry is causing a shortage and thereby driving up prices. The cost in fuel is driving the cost of living higher as it becomes more expensive to ship goods. The health care industry is passing more and more loss down to us via higher premiums.
Considering the cost of health insurance premiums alone, the average American would keep nearly $200 more of their own money each month even with a $100 tax increase.
Count in stronger government oversight and production standards in the oil industry and you’d see production levels increased significantly to keep prices somewhat lower. It’s not a clean fix because market forces to come to bare.
Count in the current problems in the real estate market and everything we’ve lost there and you see a substantial increase in the over all cost.
More thorough oversight, stronger regulations, and common sense initiatives serving all Americans would allow you to keep more of your money.
I guarantee you that if you considered the over all cost of fuel’s increase, rising health insurance premiums, and the effect of the lending crisis you’ll find you’re over all losses are greater than any tax increase that would have been applied to you. Also consider the deficit and how the Democrats are going to increase taxes to pay it off…the Republicans even handed that down to you. Dude…the idea that the Republicans will help you keep your money is a joke. lol

i would like the government to leave me alone and my pocketbook too, good grief, i dont need the nanny state, dt
*Divided Thigh speaks as increasing costs in fuel and commodities, increasing health insurance premiums, the fall of the dollar, and the negative equity he has in his home costs him far more with each passing month than any Democratic initiative would have cost him in taxes.*
Dude…you’ve been conned. They promise less taxes so they could expose you to the exploitation of private interests. Your dollar isn’t worth as much, you still have increasing premiums, fuel and commodity costs are still on the rise, not to mention your negative equity. Bro…they let you keep your money so their wealthy corporate buddies could gouge it, and more, out of you.
How much a month do you pay for health insurance?
